Odell Responds to Mara's Comments

ajr2456 : 10/19/2018 12:29 pm
I respect and value his opinion,” Beckham said Friday. “My focus is on football. I need to do more. I need to do better. Period.”
Odell - ( New Window )
Personally,

I can not wait for the next chapter of this saga. I will be sure to check this site for Mara or the Giants organization's response.

Just a bad move...  
bw in dc : 10/19/2018 12:47 pm : link
despite the seemingly good intentions.

Because now this will get into the media rotation and eat up unnecessary air time.

When in doubt, shut the f-ck up and let these things quietly wither away.
Now Odell’s dad

That's a good answer

Hopefully Mara does some self-evaluation too because it's not exactly like he's been owner of the year these last few years either.
OH NOES!!!

He was asked a question. If he “shut the fuck up” it would have been a horrendous decision. You are trying too hard.

That ship sailed years ago. Players say whatever they want now and have been for a while. Not saying it’s right but usually the owners don’t get involved.
Mara needs to shut up.  
larryflower37 : 10/19/2018 1:37 pm : link
This mess is squarely on his back.

He need to do better, at least OBJ worked to get here.
Mara was handed this franchise and has done nothing with his time in charge.

Deliver a product.

TrueBlue56 : 10/19/2018 1:53 pm : link
To see posts saying Mara needs to shut up and yet just prior to this whole Beckham thing, there was a couple of threads criticizing Mara for not talking.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't

A "horrendous" decision to stay quiet? Really? That's the word that pops into your head? Amazing.

It's the best tactic OBJ can take. Virtually every time something comes up where he's involved, it's right in the middle of the news cycle. Whether he's right or wrong, and typically, lately, I think he's right, the best course of action is to say nothing because these that helps accelerate the end of it. I struggle to understand why that's hard to see...

When in doubt in this day and age the best course is to simply go silent.

NFL owners still depend on fans showing up, watching them on TV, buying the merch etc. etc

Mara is the owner of a team that has stunk and malfunctioned for nearly 7 years. Yes he can say what he wants. He will also appear even less competent if he takes that approach.

What is “necessary air time?” Is the success of the team tied directly to either positive or negative media coverage, or just some minimum amount of media coverage?

What is this obsession folks have with how this team is portrayed in the media?
